AN 18,500-acre estate in Perthshire is set to be the home of a 100-year rewilding project managed by a Jersey-based international charity.
The Durrell Wildlife Conservation Trust has secured the lease for Dalnacardoch Estate, which sits entirely within the Cairngorms National Park, halfway between Blair Atholl and Dalwhinnie.
Durrell has a long-term vision to “revive the estate by applying its proven techniques to restoring habitats and ecological processes”, as well as recovering iconic missing species such as the capercaillie, which is currently facing extinction in Scotland.Durrell’s CEO, Dr Lesley Dickie, said: “This is a transformational moment in the Durrell story. The UK is one of the most nature-depleted countries on Earth with a multitude of diminished species and missing ecological functions.
“It’s also encouraging that Durrell plans to work so closely with neighbouring landowners and with the local community, developing a lasting vision that reflects the unique environmental and cultural heritage of the area.” “In a world where we are seeing major environmental changes and the loss of wildlife, we passionately believe we can address these challenges and make the world a better place. We look forward to restoring the plant and animal communities of Dalnacardoch so that the glens and moors are vibrant with bird song and pulsing with life”.We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories.
